It is increasingly important that plant propagules used in revegetation projects are from a location that is geographically or ecologically similar to the planting site. To better understand the consequences of using ...

Caffeine and chlorogenic acid are two compounds in green coffee beans that alter blood glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity. Caffeine has been shown to decrease glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity when taken 60 ...

Chlorine stable isotope compositions of two Swiss sedimentary sequences and their metamorphic equivalents were measured in order to study fractionation effects during prograde metamorphism and devolatilization. Protoliths ...

Supercapacitive microbial fuel cells with various anode and cathode dimensions were investigated in order to determine the effect on capacitance and delivered power quality. The cathode size was determined to be the limiting ...

As sources of clean fresh water diminish, there is an increasing interest in water reuse. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants, though reuse of treated wastewater for potable purposes ...

Acclimation to one environmental stressor may enhance adaptations to various other stressors in humans; this phenomenon has been described as cross-tolerance. Approaches to induce altitude acclimation in a relatively short ...

Deterministic dynamic nonlinear time-delay systems are developed to model load balancing in a cluster of computer nodes used for parallel computations. The model is shown to be self consistent in that the queue lengths ...

This investigation studied the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the Attention Network Task (ANT) - a combination speeded response/flanker task, which elucidates activity of three attentional ...

This study investigated the cognitive and non-cognitive weighting schemes of the medical school admissions process and the effect they had on the rate of under-represented minority applicants being accepted to medical ...

The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is a Generation-IV design in the conceptual pre-licensing phase for potential construction by 2030-2050. It is graphite moderated, helium cooled reactor that operates at an exit ...

The effectiveness of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions during, Operation Neptune, on D-Day was researched. Through the use of memoirs written by paratroopers who took part in the para-jump during the early morning ...

Adolescents with emotional disturbance and those incarcerated present high risks for poor outcomes in high school, and as adults (e.g., Walker, Ramsey, & Gresham, 2004). Poor social competence is often a characteristic of ...

Lotic ecosystems of the southwestern U.S. can be severely affected by wildfires causing alterations in water chemistry, sedimentation from runoff events, and changes in macro invertebrate community structure. In these same ...

alterations in water chemistry, sedimentation from runoff events, and changes in macroinvertebrate community structure. In these same ...

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is a popular modification of the activated sludge process, and has been studied and applied for decades. It was hypothesized that the bacteria responsible for EBPR, polyphosphate ...

This study examined how alcohol intoxication, victimization history, and sexual attitudes affect women’s perception of and responses to high risk dating and social situations. One hundred and seventeen college women were ...

Traffic is one of the key inputs in pavement design. The pavement Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) design allows three different types of input level of traffic data based on the availability of the data. They are: site specific ...
